Nora checked her voice mail messages as Matthew walked away. She gasped as she heard Kevin's frantic message about her daughter.
"What's wrong?" Bo asked as he went to her side.
"Rachel...she's relapsed. Kevin brought her to a rehab facility here in town," she explained as she felt her legs give out from underneath her.
"She's going to be okay Red, she's a fighter just like her mother," Bo said as he helped to steady her.
"She was in trouble...there was so many signs that she was relapsing, but I didn't see it. I failed her," Nora sobbed in his arms.
"You didn't do anything wrong Red."
"She was pulling away and I didn't do anything to stop her, because I was trying to save our marriage, but I failed at that as well. You slept with Lindsay," Nora accused as she pushed him away from her.
"And you slept with Troy so I think that we're even," Bo said.
"Everything's falling apart, I just...I just need a drink," Nora said as she headed towards the exit.
"That's the last thing that you need," Bo said as he grabbed her.
"Don't ever touch me again Bo. You chose Lindsay over our marriage, so why don't you go and find her and leave me the hell alone," Nora said as she slapped him across the face and left.
XOXOXO
"Hey there beautiful, how's our little man doing?" Matthew asked as he walked into the room and saw Destiny cuddling their baby boy.
"Stay away from him, you fucking bastard," Destiny shouted as she held Drew closer to her as he began to wail.
"What's wrong baby?" Matthew asked.
"Destiny, you're okay," Sean whispered to her as he tried to get her to calm down.
"How would I be okay when I am in the same room with the man who raped me Sean. You have to kill him before he hurts Drew, before he rapes me again," Destiny pleaded as tears streamed down her face.
"Des, it's me...it's Matthew," he whispered as he stayed as still as he could.
"Matthew? Is it really him?" She asked as she looked at Sean for confirmation.
"Yes Destiny, it's just Matthew, you're safe."
"I'm sorry. I scared Drew, please just take him from me," she pleaded as she handed her son over to her brother. "I'm so sorry Matthew. I don't know what's wrong with me...please forgive me."
"There's nothing to forgive," he whispered as he slowly walked to her side and gently pulled her into a hug as they both wept.
XOXOXO
"It hurts so much...I just want to die," Rachel cried out.
"I know it hurts, but the pain will go away. I'm going to see you through this," he promised as he helped her to the bed.
"I'm so cold," Rachel whispered.
"I know, but it will fade," he said as he pulled the covers up around her.
He stayed by her side until she was asleep and then he stepped out in the hall to make the call to his boss.
"Hey, I just wanted to let you know that I'm taking very good care of Rachel."
"That's excellent...her mother is very important to me and I want her little girl to make a full recovery. Make sure that Rachel becomes very dependent on you and I'll contact you with further instructions when it is time," he said as he hung up the phone.
The nurse headed back into the room and sat by Rachel's side. He bent down and gently kissed her forehead. There was certain days he enjoyed his job and this was one of them.
XOXOXO
"Natalie and I will be right there Roxy," Brody stated as he hung up the phone.
"What's wrong? Did something happen to Roxy?" Natalie asked as she quickly got dressed.
"She found Dani's body at John's place. Roxy seems to think that he raped and murdered her," Brody explained.
"There has to be some kind of mistake. John wouldn't do anything like that."
"Well, we're going to know soon enough," Brody stated.
XOXOXO
"Kelly, what are you doing?" Joey asked as they walked into the room and found her sprawled out on the bed completely naked.
"I...I was hot," she stuttered as she realized that she was completely alone. Where had John gone...maybe he had never been there at all. Was it possible that she was beginning to lose her mind like her mother had?
"I...I better go," Kevin said as he placed his hands over his eyes and backed out of the room.
"I'll talk to you later Kevin, thanks for everything," Joey said as he shut the bedroom door.
"Kelly, we need to talk," Joey said as he sat on the bed by her side.
Caleb stood on the window ledge listening to everything they had said. It had been a close call...too close, but thankfully he hadn't lost his ability to vanish with the ring...maybe Olivia had been right and his powers had never come from his family's ring at all.
"I'll be back Kelly," he whispered as he transformed into a bat and flew away into the night.
XOXOXO
Larry drew Marty's blood and handed the vials and the rape exam kits to the nurses. Thank god she had been unconscious during the exam.
He was sickened by the amount of bruises that covered her body. He didn't know how she would recover from the trauma, but he would do anything to make sure that she survived this.
"Marty...it's okay, you're in the hospital," Larry reassured her as she opened her eyes.
"Todd," Marty whispered as she closed her eyes once again.
XOXOXO
"How's Marty?" Jason asked as he found Todd and Victor sitting in the chapel.
"We don't know yet. What happened with Luke?" Todd asked.
"I called the police, Fish has taken him into custody."
"You should have killed the bastard instead," Victor grumbled.
"I was tempted, but I want him to spend the rest of his life rotting behind bars for what he did to her."
"How's Marty?" Todd asked as he saw Larry enter the chapel.
"She's awake and asking for you," he explained.
XOXOXO
Caleb senses suddenly tuned in with Natalie's and he knew that she had discovered what had happened to Dani. He felt her disgust as she looked at the bruises and bite marks that covered Dani's battered body.
He watched as she collected evidence from the room. He had to take action before they had the evidence to convict him.
He landed and transformed himself back into a man. He pulled out his cell phone and called Natalie.
"Hey Natalie, it's John...I need you to cover for me, or I'm going to tell Brody all about the night of passion that we shared," he blackmailed her.
